Property Description
Step into something truly special in the heart of greater Kalamazoo -- a rare architectural gem that blends iconic mid-century design with carefully curated modern upgrades on a beautifully wooded setting of more than an acre. This one-of-a-kind meandering multi-level ranch offers a remarkable sense of character, privacy, and distinction that is rarely found. From the moment you arrive, the meticulously landscaped grounds set the tone. Mature oak trees, Japanese maples, ornamental pines, and vibrant gardens surround the home, creating a peaceful retreat in the center of the city. The property also features a charming garden center with an outdoor sink, a new storage shed, and even a private outdoor sauna. All of this is just moments from local trails, dining, and shopping, offering the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Inside, timeless architectural details immediately capture attention. Soaring ceilings, dramatic exposed beams, original built-ins, oversized new windows, and a striking floating staircase anchor the home's signature mid-century design. Thoughtful renovations respect the original floor plan while enhancing comfort and functionality, creating a seamless blend of historic character and modern living. The open living spaces are ideal for entertaining, highlighted by a copper brick fireplace, an original wet bar, and a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, new appliances, and an oversized island designed for gathering. The lower level continues the home's distinctive appeal with polished aggregate floors, a stylish beverage center, and a restored home office complete with fireplace and built-ins. Tucked within the lower level is a rare and fascinating bomb shelter, offering a unique historical feature and memorable conversation piece. Each of the five spacious bedrooms showcases tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, built-in storage, and expansive windows that invite natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. The home has been extensively updated to enhance both comfort and efficiency. A fully renovated designer kitchen features quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and modern appliances. Three new furnaces and three new air-conditioning units provide zoned comfort throughout the home. Additional improvements include new roof shingles, new upper-level windows, modernized electrical systems, updated lighting, and a newly remodeled main-level bathroom. The basement has been refinished with polished aggregate flooring, while terrazzo tile flooring and new plush carpeting add warmth and texture throughout the living spaces. Architectural details continue outside with striking copper-accented rafter tails paired with sleek concealed gutter systems that preserve the home's clean rooflines while enhancing its distinctive design. A brand-new garage door, a newly designed backyard patio, and extensive professional landscaping create beautiful spaces for outdoor entertaining, including a large concrete patio surrounded by curated gardens and thoughtful hardscape. Originally commissioned by Dr. Harold Upjohn and designed by Diekema Architects, this home carries a notable architectural pedigree. Its location offers convenient access to major expressways, downtown Kalamazoo, premier shopping and dining, nearby parks, and local universities. Immaculately restored with careful attention to both history and design, the home preserves its architectural integrity while offering the modern amenities today's buyers expect. With original blueprints available and countless distinctive features throughout, this property is far more than a home - it is a rare mid-century work of art offering privacy, prestige, and timeless style in one of Portage's most desirable locations. windows, and a striking floating staircase anchor the home's signature mid-century design.
